by Jimmy Carter

In this collection of familiar essays, Jimmy Carter, the plain-speaking ex-President from Plains, Georgia, writes on the experiences that have stayed with him. Home truths are found in his pieces on baseball, the Navy, and fishing, along with recollections of his life in the White House and his experiences as a world-traveling statesman-at-large. There is a relaxed, conversational, sitting-on-the-front-porch quality to these snapshots, which include his view of the warm relationship he and Rosalynn enjoy.
